My name is Kanisha Gaines and I am so excited to be a part of the Northside Middle School family. Each year, I look forward to building a positive rapport with the students, parents, and staff at Northside Middle.

I began my teaching career in 2007 at Sumter County Middle School. I have been at Northside Middle School since 2013. I received a Bachelor of Science at Georgia Southwestern State University in 2007. Shortly after, I decided to further my education at Troy State University earning a Masters in Postsecondary Education. I earned my Specialist in Middle Grades Education at Georgia Southwestern State University.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my loving husband and son, and giving back to the community. I am looking forward to an AWESOME year!!
